LET GOD’S LOVE – RULE AND REIGN IN YOU: THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCENDS, SURPASSES AND SUPERCEDES HUMAN SENSES – REASONING!

God’s love – The LOVE that GIVES lavishly and unconditionally from the heart and not the LOVE that DEMANDS by senses passion. (John 3:16; Romans 5:5-8)

“For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth [a]derives its name [God—the first and ultimate Father]. 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [DEEPLY] ROOTED and [SECURELY] GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the WIDTH and LENGTH and HEIGHT and DEPTH of His LOVE [fully EXPERIENCING that AMAZING, ENDLESS LOVE]; 19 and [that you may come] to KNOW [PRACTICALLY, THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:14-19.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Because of God’s love for us – He brought us to life with Christ – even when we were spiritually dead because of our sins.

What does it mean to love the Lord?

It is to keep His Word. (1 John 5:3)

Jesus Christ said that the evidence that you love Him will be seen in the way you obey what He commands you to do. (John 14:15)

This obedience can only come because of the presence of the Holy Spirit. You cannot do it apart from Him. As a child of God, He is with you and in you.

The Holy Spirit is the reason why you are able to love your neighbor or to feed your enemy – because He has poured His love into your hearts. (Romans 5:5)

Love one another. Faith works through love. True disciples live in and by love. Love transcends the senses. God is love.

THE DIVINE GOD OF LOVE: LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES

By Leave a Comment

THE DIVINE GOD OF LOVE: LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES – CAN’T FATHOM THE DIVINE GOD OF LOVE – NOR GOD’S KIND OF DIVINE LOVE!

There’s the need to KNOW The LOVE Of Christ Which SURPASSES, SUPERCEDES and TRANSCENDS SENSE Knowledge, if you must make sense of God’s default and personified divine LOVE. The divine love of God gives – it’s a GIVING love, meaning, it does not DEMAND to be love because the embodiment is love, and lavishly gives love unconditionally. And divine love is a COMMENDED love because of what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION in Him.

“For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”.

The FIVE SENSES love speaks of the NATURAL – SENSUAL man who operates by material sensory of FEELING/TOUCHING, TASTING, SMELLING, HEARING and SEEING, to make a concise conclusions in order to ensure its definition in love. It tends demand and fight to be love otherwise goes into a mood or mode of irreparable returns at some point.

This FIVE SENSES LOVE requires laboratory test of men for approval, and as such:

** It’s limited and

** It’s subject to change depending on the public poll of acceptance.

** It’s always awaiting all the time for the acknowledging and approval in – friendship, family, work and in places of governance, doing life and such like.

** It’s built of and on human selfishness even though it’s not easily acknowledge or spoken of as if it is or not.

** It’s based on conditionality in expression

** It’s based on sentiments in nearly all its intent.

And because the five senses love is natural and sensual, it can’t fathom the divine God of love nor God personified in His divine kind of love, hence – LAWS and RULES are made to regulate it with CHANGES in times to suit the human demand and supply.

And unfortunately, the SENSE love kind, could be deadly when not fully actualized, as many have been disappointed, derailed, depressed, suicidal and some even passed on untimely, when the expected expectations didn’t materialized and or come to fruition.

Divine Love is Good and is of God. And is lavishly given to all who comes to God in Christ Jesus by the Blessed Holy Spirit that dwells within a born again child of God. Romans 5:5-8.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” 1 Corinthians 2:12, 14.

“. . . 17 So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the WIDTH and LENGTH and HEIGHT and DEPTH of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] (SENSE) knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself] . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21. Amplified. Emphasis Mine.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for good for those who LOVE God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose” Romans 8:28. Amplified.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS: GOD IS LOVE!

By Leave a Comment

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS: GOD IS LOVE!

Defining Love? Which Love? What kind of Love? How do you define genuine love? In your terms or God’s terms? The LOVE that’s WORTH pondering by you – is it the LOVE made and built of SENSE KNOWLEDGE or The Love born of REVELATION KNOWLEDGE?

HEREIN IS MY TAKE ON DEFINING LOVE:

** SENSE KNOWLEDGE LOVE:

This LOVE response to our senses – which is made of these FIVE senses: FEEL (Touch), SMELL, TASTE, SEE and HEAR. This is the realm where the VALENTINE love operates especially. This is where the natural instincts of carnality and humanity operates. It’s of the world, hence defines in terms, and it’s limited in every sense to meet the human quest. I wonder why many if not multitudes should wait for FEBRUARY 14 to genuinely express love to someone they care about. Is like waiting until Christmas to express goodness to those you care about. There’s nothing wrong in the common sense LOVE in essence in humanity if guided and guarded by God’s kind of love; only that, this sensual LOVE is body-ruled, full of  bundles of selfishness, more importantly, man-made – hence limited in all ramifications.

** REVELATION KNOWLEDGE LOVE:

This LOVE is of God. It is spiritual, meaning; it’s inspiring, revealing and empowering. It sensitizes the sense knowledge towards your natural and spiritual causes, and as such it expresses genuinely to all and more importantly to those you care about in day to day act of doing life and living godly. It does not wait for special occasions like VALENTINE or CHRISTMAS or BIRTHDAY and such like to express great heart-felt goodness. It’s boundless, intentional and reachable and available and applicable in circumstances toward God and mankind.

Therefore think before you go in debt for a one day or part-time kind of LOVE act that may end up in CARNALITY and at CROSS-FIRE afterwards.

Know full well today that – GOD IS LOVE. In other words, the DEFINITION of LOVE is – God. You can only DEFINE LOVE in God. And God’s Love which is in Christ Jesus, transcends, surpassed and supercedes human sense knowledge in every dimension. Until one knows and understands it, the struggles for genuine love will keep showing up; and the unnecessary asking of all sorts of questioning about LOVE and matters of LOVE.

As Believer in Christ, are you in love built on SENSE  knowledge or in REVELATION knowledge. For the revelation knowledge LOVE of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (Transcends, Supercedes) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19 (Emphasis Mine).

“Beloved, let us love one another: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, AND HIS LOVE IS PERFECTED IN US. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, BECAUSE HE HATH GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also” 1 John 4:7-21.

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: GOD’S LOVE

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: GOD’S LOVE – The ‘LOVE’ of the Sixth Sense – Called AGAPE!

There’s the LOVE of God which operates by FAITH in God’s Word – it’s called AGAPE LOVE. This love of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s sustained and maintained by same Holy Spirit, hence it knows no stress, weariness or limited or conditioned by any ‘nesses; as such there’s NO room for selfishness, wickedness, maliciousness and greediness.

“And to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SUPERCEDES, SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19 (Emphasis Mine).

HEREIN ARE FEW THINGS TO NOTE OF GOD’S LOVE:

** Its embodiment are HOPE and FAITH for functionality.

** It’s love built on principle, it’s intentional, unconditional and boundless.

** It transcends the natural or material worlds of the Five Senses Love.

** It’s the more excellent way to communicate to God and man in God’s terms.

** It enriches all things, transcends culture, religion, color, tradition, generation and gender. Simply because it’s of God and God is love.

** It answers every quest of man and it’s not fathom by the five senses or limited by it.

Therefore, this LOVE of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

You are the light of the WORLD. It’s time to ENLIGHTEN and ILLUMINATE your WORLDS, more and more, by your LIGHT. For the path of the just, the righteous in Christ, is as a shining light, that shines brighter and brighter, that is, more and more, until the dawn of a NEW day. Proverbs 4:18.

LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE

LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE – GIVES A MORE EXCELLENT WAY!                                                   

“But covet EARNESTLY the BEST gifts: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

Stop struggling to love. You are not born of God to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in love. You are born of God to THRIVE, BLOSSOM and COLOUR your worlds of doing life and living godly in love. We are born of God in Christ Jesus by the WORD, to radiate His love that’s shared lavishly in our hearts – human spirit, by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. For GOD IS LOVE and as such, LOVE Is of God. And LOVING is LIVING.

The most excellent way to enjoy and express God’s love, is the resolve to be the love GIVER  than to DEMAND for love. Genuine LOVE GIVES, it doesn’t DEMANDS, knowing it’s more BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE – Acts 20:35. For God so LOVE, He GAVE – John 3:16.

And until you resolve to be the love GIVER, rather than the one DEMANDING for love, you will struggle to express love in an EXCELLENT way. And the EXCELLENT way of genuine living is emboldened in DIVINE LOVE. And it’s WORTH it beyond all human reasoning – senses – of what you smell, see, taste, hear and feel/touch.

FAITHFUL SAYING: CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY!

FAITHFUL SAYING: CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY!

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for COMPETENT men—men who FEAR God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and APPOINT them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of CHARACTER and INTEGRITY.

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED”

                          – Arthur Friedman

** Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there.

** And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost”

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.
